Hoist by your own whatsit.

Have you read that this petition to have a rerun of the referendum, which has now garnered over three million signatures, was originally set up some time ago by a Leave supporter at a time when it seemed Remain were likely to win and he wanted to make it as difficult as possible for them by requiring a winning vote of at least 60% on a turnout of at least 75% which he has admitted he thought next to impossible.  His idea has now been hijacked (as he sees it) by the Remainers.  Talk about the Law of Unforeseen Consequences!
